14 Xbox Game Studios games to be shown at Microsoft E3 presser, Phil Spencer confirms

[JehutyRunner]

Just finishing our final E3 rehearsal here with the team in Redmond. Feel really good about the briefing. Lots to show. We have 14 Xbox Game Studios games in the show this year, more first party games than we've ever had in the show. Fun times.

To be clear, this may not mean 14 first-party games, but rather include games being published by other publishers from developers now under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella (so in this case, Obsidian with The Outer Worlds from Private Division and inXile with Wasteland 3)

So in this case, lets run down the list of some of the studios that could or will have things to show:

- Halo Infinite (343 Industries)
- Gears 5 (The Coalition)
- Forza Horizon DLC (Playground)
- The Outer Worlds (Obsidian)
- Wasteland 3 (inXile)
- Minecraft (Mojang)
- Rare (Definitely Sea of Thieves, but also new game?)
- Ori
- Battletoads
- Ninja Theory's new IP
- Age of Empires
- Gears Tactics
- We Happy Few DLC

And one last note: on the last Inside Xbox, Spencer did say the show would feature content from all the new studios. So not just Obsidian and inXile with The Outer Worlds and Wasteland 3 respectively, but also The Initiative, Undead Labs, Playground Games, Compulsion Games and Ninja Theory. Read into that what you will.

Cool! I hope the majority of them are more than concept trailers.

 

[Bradbatross]

Fun times.

[Gundam]

This is probably counting both first party studios and Microsoft Global Publishing, which does exclusive content from otherwise third party developers.

 

[BlueStarEXSF]

Good on MS for bringing the goods.

 

[Defect]

Probably includes updates like MCC coming to pc :/

 

[ThereAreFourNaan]

I'm sure the Outer worlds will count as one despite technically being 2k published, and stuff like Gears Funko Pops edition will count, but that still leaves a lot of spots for next gen teases (or if we're lucky, proper reveals). Looking forward to the conf.

 

[Xavi]

Excited!

It is the season of E3. 14 games from Xbox Game studios? New acquisitions showing off stuff too? oh boy I can't wait. They definitely have a lot to talk about and this ain't even the main show. They got to be saving the nukes for E3 2020.

 

[Vire]

1. Halo Infinite
2. Fable
3. Gears 5
4. Sea of Thieves Expansion
5. Forza Horizon 4 Expansion
6. Ori 2
7. Ninja Theory Game?
8. Battletoads

What else y'all. :)

 

[DarthWalden]

Hmmm does this include second party games like Ori and BattleToads? It must.

 

[TubaZef]

That's quite a lot. But they could be counting games that are already released, things like new content for Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, Forza and Halo MCC.

Still, that's a big number.

 

[Serene]

Wonder if that includes stuff like new Sea of Thieves content and updates to FH4

 

[The Living Tribunal]

Phil me in.

I don't think he's talking about Microsoft Global Publishing this time....

"more first party games than we've ever had in the show"

 

[Kawngi]

My body is reggie.

 

[Bundy]

Battletoads

 

[Brotherhood93]

Does The Outer Worlds count? Minecraft too.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

damn, that's a lot. it's gonna be a fun conference for sure.

 

[Somnia]

Gears 5, Ori, Battletoads, Forza DLC, Halo Infinite, Halo MCC on PC, Gears Tactics, Wasteland 3

Theres 8. No idea on the other 6.

 

[Jahranimo]

Well..

 

[GUNDAM STARDUST]

I want some beef. Real talk - bring me some more high quality high production value games like Gears 5. I'd rather have first party focus on big grand experiences and let 3rd party and smaller studios fill out the portfolio.

 

[MillionIII]

Hopefully no cg trailers

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

It's truly the best time of the year.

 

[litebrite]

Battletoads

Click to shrink...

Gears Tactics

 

[Kyoufu]

Hopefully they're not super early CG trailers. Don't want a repeat of 2014 tbh.

 

[Shoozle]

Banjo by PlayTonic and Rare.

 

[Guymelef]

Teasers and CGs everywhere!.

 

[DMVfan123]

Phil heard y'all TALKING SHIT

 

[Deleted member 49132]

Nevermind the games

HOW MANY TERAFLOPS PHIL

 

[sibarraz]

Hope that one of them is KI4

 

[Shooter]

Perfect Dark

 

[bdwnfn99]

SOT already mentioned that they're going to talk primarily about the Anniversary Update that just dropped, as opposed to covering lots more of new content. So that's one expectation to bring back down to earth.

 

[Deleted member 6235]

Huh. What about Global Publishing? He clearly states "first party studios" in the tweet.

 

[Bundy]

Hmmm does this include second party games like Ori and BattleToads? It must.

Ori and Battletoads are 1st party games. 2nd party doesn't really exist.

 

[jbug617]

 

[PorscheDesign]

Here we go!

 

[kendominfinity]

Gears 5, Ori, Battletoads, Forza DLC, Halo Infinite, Halo MCC on PC, Gears Tactics, Wasteland 3

Theres 8. No idea on the other 6.

Ninja Theory's new game probably

If he said "internal developers" instead of "Xbox Game Studios" I'd believe that, but the wording is specific. Speaking of wording, the way he puts it makes me believe that stuff like FH4 DLC counts as presence on the stage.

 

[Alex840]

I wonder why they feel the need to showcase these games so quickly! Can't see any of the games coming from the studios they bought last year releasing any time soon. Assuming a 3 year dev time minimum, I wouldn't expect them to release until 2022, possibly later from The Initiative (presumably working on a larger scale project) and Obsidian (who haven't finished Outer Worlds yet).

 

[Dimple]

 

[Yerffej]

Fable or else!

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Seems like they gonna go with the "just show it really early" type hype.

I'm here for it.

Just got to execute better this time around. :P

 

[SuikerBrood]

Let's count:
- Halo Infinite
- Gears 5
- Gears Tactics
- Minecraft: Dungeons
- Minecraft
- Wasteland 3
- The Outer Worlds
- Sea of Thieves
- Forza Horizon 4
- Ninja Theory's next game
- Battletoads
- Master Chief Collection
- Age of Empires 2 or 3?
- Age of Empires 4
- Ori and the Will of the Wisps

15 games. Guess Age of Empires 4 isn't happening.

 

[Kawngi]

Plenty of room for Fable to be among the 14 :)))
